Alberta UCP Removes Airdrie-Cochrane MLA Peter Guthrie Over Corruption Allegations in Multimillion-Dollar Health Contracts

Peter Guthrie, a former cabinet minister and Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) for Airdrie-Cochrane, has been removed from the United Conservative Party (UCP) caucus in Alberta. Guthrie was expelled after publicly criticizing his own party for its handling of an investigation into allegations of corruption related to multimillion-dollar health contracts. The decision to remove Guthrie from the caucus reflects internal party tensions surrounding the government's probe into these health contract allegations.
